Re: Draco/Scorpius
Draco didn't care what the boundaries might be, he crossed the distance and pulled Scorpius into a hug.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." It had ever occurred to Draco how hard it would be for the people that came only a few years from now. He held Scorpius tightly and just let him cry, wishing there was literally anything he could do to make him feel better.
There was real fear in his voice when he mentioned Lucius, and Draco had never wanted to protect someone so much in his life.
"Hey, listen to me. You do not have to do anything for him, okay?" He didn't know what exactly Scorpius would have to pretend about, but he could guess. "You don't change for anyone, you understand? And if he gives you any trouble you tell me and I'll curse the old bastard so fast it'll make his head spin. You don't even need to talk to him if you don't want to. He doesn't get to have any power over you."
